[openssl.org #1968] [PATCH 06/14] Allow overriding of settings for cross compilation.

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz via RT]

This isn't really the way the config script was intended to be used. It
is supposed to auto detect the machine type and call Configure with the
appropriate target. If you want to cross compile you should call
Configure directly and use any additional arguments you need such as
--cross-compile-prefix .

Ok,  just for context,  I moved all the ocf-linux changes from 0.9.8k
over the last week and tested.  The --cross-compile-prefix option was not
available in the 0.9.8 series and I haven't looked at how/if I can take
advantage of that yet.

If this change is not suitable that ok.

I still feel that in a cross compiled embedded system, the output of uname
on the build host is next to useless information for most decision making.
It's possible for same target to be built on a Windows/Linux/BSD/whatever
system.

Cheers,
Davidm
